NEW YORK, April 17 -- The Counter Extremism Project issued the following news release:
China's continued detention of more than one million Uighur's in what U.S. officials have called "concentration camps" has put the persecuted population at heightened risk of contracting the novel coronavirus, COVID-19. More than 50 coronavirus cases have been reported in the northeastern region of Xinjiang. Many worry the camp-like conditions make social distancing implausible.
